17" Powerbook height question...

[mightyjlr]

I distinctly remember Steve Jobs making a point that the 17" Powerbook was thinner than the 15" Powerbook. On the Apple website they show it as being the same? Not a big deal, but they seem to be EXACTLY the same height down to the 10th of a centimeter.

Size and weight (12-inch model)
Height: 1.18 inch (3.0 cm)
Width: 10.9 inches (27.7 cm)
Depth: 8.6 inches (21.9 cm)
Weight: 4.6 pounds (2.1 kg) with battery and optical drive installed

Size and weight (15-inch models)
Height: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)
Width: 13.4 inches (34.1 cm)
Depth: 9.5 inches (24.1 cm)
Weight: 5.4 pounds (2.45 kg) with battery and optical drive installed

Size and weight (17-inch model)
Height: 1.0 inch (2.6 cm)
Width: 15.4 inches (39.2 cm)
Depth: 10.2 inches (25.9 cm)
Weight: 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg) with battery and optical drive installed

All I know is that it's bigger than mini me. That thing is huge.

I really hope to see it in real and see if it is really too big for a protable... I still hope Apple to release the new 15" model with the same feature of 17" model.
